Cheyenne Mountain is a large, granite mountain located near Colorado Springs, Colorado, famously known for housing the Cheyenne Mountain Complex. This complex is a military installation that serves as a command center for the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and the United States Northern Command (USNORTHCOM). Built deep within the mountain, it is designed to withstand nuclear attacks and natural disasters, providing a secure location for monitoring airspace and coordinating defense operations. The facility’s unique architecture and strategic importance make it a significant part of national defense infrastructure.
